Marca: Vancouver White Waves is close to signing Mueller, but needs to pay $400,000 to Cincinnati

According to the Marca report, although it is visa-free Mueller, Vancouver White Waves needs to pay Cincinnati $400,000.

Muller is about to join the Vancouver White Waves of MLS, and it's only a matter of time now. The German striker is currently negotiating with the Canadian team on the final details to complete the transfer to join the North American League club.

Muller will land in North America as a free agent after finishing his 17-season career with Bayern Munich. However, even though Mueller never played in MLS, his new owner still had to pay another MLS club $400,000.

The reason is that FC Cincinnati, a club established in 2019, included Mueller on the "Discovery List" at the beginning of its establishment, which gives them the right to exclusively sign with the player in the future. If other MLS teams want to sign the player, they must pay financial compensation to the clubs with the right to discover.

Muller is the representative of this situation. As early as he was 29 years old, Cincinnati unilaterally placed him on the discovery list. Although Vancouver White Lang has introduced him for a free transfer, he still needs to pay compensation to Cincinnati to officially sign the Bayern legend.
